100% absolutely, they are miles and miles from the fires. Anaheim Hills is nowhere near Anaheim really. Anaheim Hills is probably 12 miles east of Disneyland in the north western tip of Orange County, tucked into the foothills.

The winds have a lot of influence on this. You've never know there was a fire nearby over in Irvine. I was surprised by the phone alert for evacuation areas, went outside and it was all blue skies and angrily chirping hummingbirds.

Thats how it was when I woke up. Beautiful out, but then I see videos of literally 4 miles away and shits all bombed out. Then over the course the day it darkened and turned red orange and now ash is raining all around.

East Orange gaf here? Family doesnt want to evac cause the wind isnt blowing there and grandma doesnt want to leave. They closed all the windows to stop air coming in too. Are they playing it a little too close or should they leave.

I guess it depends on where they are exactly in East Orange? Cause if they are over by 241 or Santiago Canyon, they really should be getting the heck out of there. If it's more of the built up areas around Chapman Ave east of 55, then they are probably fine for now.

The exit I usually take off 241 to go to Orange is closed both ways now.

So the evacuation area came to about a couple blocks from us, but hasn't moved all afternoon on the northern boundary. It seems to be moving south east now, so I think we probably won't need to evacuate. Just the same, we're keeping our eye on it, leaving all the bags in the cars and keeping out our cat carriers. My biggest concern is things changing drastically in the middle of the night. I hope they would come door to door or otherwise loudly announce it to the neighborhood, if an evacuation order goes out for our area?

I'm glad people are taking the time to help move the horses and other animals out of the evacuation zone. Every time I drive through there, I love seeing all the horses being ridden or hanging out in paddocks. It's not really a common sight in SoCal anymore with the housing sprawl.

I did here that at least a couple of the buildings burned down. Villa Capri and the north building, or something like that? I also heard second hand that the main building was on fire at one point, but also heard that it might have survived okay.

My grandparents were in a free-standing casita or whatever they call it. Said he woke up to see fire outside the window and they had to walk through embers and some flames to go out their front door.

In-laws were evacuated last night and are staying our house. Their house is half a mile from where the flames were last night. It took me almost 4 hours to drive home yesterday too. The 91 freeway being closed in both directions meant almost 2 counties of commuters in one of the single worst traffic sections in the entire country were taking to side streets across several cities.
